This Feliciano Ador outfit features the indigenous handiwork of the Tboli tribe of South Cotabato. Venus is wearing a strapped t'nalak corset matched with stylized gladiator high-heeled shoes (also crafted with t'nalak cloth), tempered down with a plain black satin skirt. The outfit is accented with a signature tribal fringed bead belt with dangling brass bells, also a staple produce of the Tbolis." T'nalak is a traditional cloth found in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, which is made by the Tboli people in and around Lake Sebu in South Cotabato. This traditional cloth is hand-woven from abaca fibers, which traditionally come in three main colors: red, black, and the original brownish color of the abaca leaves.
